Some things never change judging by the dates here. I took the NCLEX yesterday. It all started with an airport style security check, even worse, I had to turn my pockets inside out, take out my butterfly hair clip and lift up my hair before going in. I had to leave cash in a locker. Gee I guess I could have written enough notes on a 20 dollar bill to cheat on two or three questions...geez! They must have had some crafty cheaters in the past. I just happened to look down to see what number I was on and it said 74, so I answered the next question, clicked next and hoped for a successful shut down...265 questions after I started and 4 1/2 hours into the exam I was finally able to walk out trying to hold in the tears. The testing assistant even said 'you don't look so good'. (YA THINK SO???) She was actually really sweet, but it didn't stop the panic that had set in. I had over an hour drive home and cried the whole way AND I scored a 1048 on the HESI and am an honors student. I don't think it matters if your test stops at 75 85 110 142 or 265. We all have the same feelings in common, most pass and unfortunately some don't. Right now I am in the boat with so many in feeling I definitely didn't. I kept getting virtually the same questions over and over that finally had me thinking 'you idiot, can't you get the answer correct, we've given you enough chances' and I tried to stop the negative talk going on in my head, but it just kept coming every time I clicked next and had NO clue which guess was correct. I couldn't even narrow it down to two on most of the questions. I had a ton of SATA questions. They just kept coming. I hated it!! I thought hazing was illegal. I've had an intense headache since the middle of the exam and could not sleep last night I was so upset. And I am an easygoing person generally. And speaking of generally, I thought the exam was to accurately test our general knowledge of nursing. There was NOTHING general about my exam. It had serious tunnel vision toward pharm. over and over and over and over. It was maddening. I went back and reviewed the test plan they supply to students and mine nowhere near matched the test plan on percentage of items per category. I am sick. I will let you know how it went. Not holding out much hope. Some people who did not pass the HESI the first time like I did, have already passed the second HESI and taken the NCLEX and have their license. They said the NCLEX was 'easy'. Couldn't have been the same one I took...Where are the disease processes, where is cardiac, I'd have given half my liver to have a cardiac question or two. Good luck every

one.

265 questions? Dont sweat it too bad. I know thats easier said than done. I just took my NCLEX this past Tuesday. (6/25) My two study buddies took theirs the previous week. We usually scored very close together when we took practice tests together. (usually within 3-6 incorrect answers with tests of 175 questions) Both of them only had 75 questions. Both of them passed. I had all 265 questions and was scared out of my mind. I barely slept last night and I was checking the quick results every 15 minutes from 8 o'clock on to see if I failed. I just found out I passed. I have also been talking to some of our classmates that also had 265 questions. Every one of them passed too. Having 265 does NOT mean you failed. It only means you needed more questions to ensure you met the required minimum knowledge. Best of luck to all that are sweating while waiting on their results.

I wasn't assuming I failed because I had 265 questions. I know I failed, but thanks for the encouragement. I have since bought a pharmacists study guide there was so much pharm on my exam. I need to memorize my drug book. I paid for the quick results and my graduate nurse info has been yanked. I know I failed. Just wish I could hear something soon about when I can test again. Tired of waiting.

hey everyone,

I feel just like everyone one here just took the nclex rn finished about 4 hrs ago received the full 265 questions and i feel HORRIBLE!!!!! I am trying to remain up beat and optismistic BUT it is hard i dont know anybody personally that has received the full 265 but thank god i found this site. Hopefully i passed i will check back when i found out if i passed/failed. I took the pn nclex two years ago and felt the same way but ionly had 185 querstions and the computer shut off. I guess a lot of praying is in order:icon_roll

mshodge6 did you pass??? I took my exam yesterday and I had 265 questions, I feel like I don't know anything right now. I feel like I am not worthy of being a nurse. I have my LPN, I have had it for 1 year now, maybe I should just stay a LPN. I have to wait until Tuesday to find out how I did, this is going to be the longest 2 days of my life. Please everyone who reads this pray for us nurses, this is the hardest thing I have ever done.:uhoh3:
